I would not do it unless I had an extremely good reason. It is risky since you have to take hormones that speed up your ovulation and mature the eggs... I hear it can lead to infertility and period problems years later.

I've actually considered it. Decided against it, but hubby was totally supportive when I was thinking about it.

If I didn't have so much trouble trying to get my body to work for me (since I may or may not be able to have children right now ), I would definitely consider it to help out another woman who wants children. Not only is it doing a good thing for someone who wants to give love to a child, but it would help me pay my way out of the mountain of debt I'm under.

Yes & yes!

I've looked into it seriously to pay off college. I don't ever plan on becoming pregnant (if I want children I'll just adopt), so the infertility thing doesn't really scare me. Unfortunately, I can't donate/sell my eggs because I'm a smoker

But in regard to the whole partner not approving thing: having children is something we both need to be in clear agreement on. If my partner suddenly tried to tell me he didn't want me risking infertility, than clearly we have different longterm goals and aspirations and probably are not right for eachother in the long run.

i would

I would and I have considered it. My husband would be behind me all the way. I don't need them anymore. I have seven kids, five of them I gave birth to. I would do it so other women can experience the gift of motherhood.

I wouldn not. I can't have my own kids, so I wouldn't want someone else running around being able to have mine when even I cant/
